Whenever my nine-year-old daughter approached me, eyes wide, with a notebook and a pen, telling me she wanted to engage in a game of school, something inside me froze. There was a mental block so huge that it felt like I was being asked by Elon Musk to make a presentation about artificial intelligence. So, nine times out of ten, I made an excuse.
Why is it so hard to play with my child? I realize this is because I have no idea how to play. I have many happy memories of my youth, but absolutely none involves playing dolls or building blocks with my parents. I don’t blame them because they were never played with as children either. When I ask them what their own childhoods were like, my dad tells me a story about being locked in a cupboard, while my mum recalls the box of buttons she was told to amuse herself with.
There are studies showing how important play is for a child’s growth, and no end of people campaigning for our young to get more of it at school. The poet Michael Rosen, in his Book of Play, argues play is not an extra and all of us, whatever age, could do with more silliness in our lives.
As Rosen explains, “The need for adults to be productive member’s of society means we end up thinking of things that make us laugh, or which are fun to do, as not being very significant or having very little value.” This is exactly why we need to play more. It lightens the load of life and allows us to get back to a childlike state of wonder.
Play is vital to health. And it is why I’ve started playing school games with my daughter. I managed an entire hour and a half the other day—and afterwards, I felt happy. A good 20 years younger.
24．How did the author use to respond to her daughter’s request for a game?
A．She pretended to be surprised. B．She apologized for being busy.
C．She chose to avoid involvement. D．She turned to artificial intelligence.
25．What does the author focus on while giving an explanation in paragraph 2?
A．The game category. B．Memory strategies.
C．The generation gap. D．Childhood experiences.
26．Which of the following would Rosen probably agree with?
A．Laughter is the best medicine. B．Play is not only intended for children.
C．Thinking like a kid frees people of stress. D．Staying curious makes a productive worker.
27．What does the author want to convey in the text?
A．Children grow up well in a fun environment.
B．Family interaction strengthens the parent-child tie.
C．Parents owe it to their children to play more with them.
D．Games are essential for children both at school and at home.
C
Architects have long turned to the past for inspiration. In this age of concrete and steel, however, they’re more likely to look for aesthetic (美学的) influence than technical know-how. But an ancient Chinese construction technique called dougong is a remarkable exception.
Consisting of a series of wooden brackets (支架) with no nails or fasteners, it’s over 2,500 years old and commonly found in Chinese architecture, such as Beijing’s Forbidden City. Many structures built during the Tang and Song dynasties featured “curtain walls” which were non-load-bearing. As a result, the unsupported wood shouldering the weight might break. Designers needed a technique which would more evenly spread the burden across their structures. Their solution was dougong.
Engineering has come a long way since the ancient Chinese building technique was in fashion. But there’s a timeless quality to it. Modern-day designers in many areas are adopting it to produce amazing and stable work of architecture. Among them is Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, who used dougong-inspired methods for his recent buildings: Yusuhara Wooden Bridge Museum and Café Kureon, a 2,120-square-foot restaurant.
For architect Terrence Curry, the attraction of using ancient methods is about finding something that can “speak to Chinese identity”. His structure Dougong Cube, now part of the School of Architecture, Tsinghua University in Beijing, was constructed using classical-style brackets and over 2,000 boards. “It has fundamental structures of dougong, but we just aren’t using it in the way it was intended to be used. We’re really pulling it out — emphasizing its beauty and complexity, and the way it works,” said Curry. “The shape and function of dougong is directly related to properties of wood, and the ability of people who make these buildings. In this way, there’s little need for decoration because the structure and design give it its distinctive look.”
28. Why is dougong considered an exception?
A. It has existed for a very long time. B. It keeps stable with no concrete or steel.
C. It was ignored by architects in the past. D. It meets both structural and decorative needs.
29. What was the function of dougong in ancient times?
A. To beautify the structures. B. To avoid nails and fasteners.
C. To distribute weight of buildings. D. To replace unstable curtain walls.
30. What does the author want to show by mentioning Kengo Kuma’s buildings?
A. Dougong holds lasting appeal. B. Dougong makes for great buildings.
C. Dougong deserves wide recognition. D. Dougong plays a big role in engineering.
31. What can be learned about Dougong Cube?
A. It aims to explore Chinese identity. B. It’s more complex than common structures.
C. It reproduces traditional use of dougong. D. It’s a combination of tradition and innovation.
D
Final exams are around the corner — but that won’t stop some teenagers putting in the least effort. This may be because their brains aren’t developed enough to properly assess how high the stakes (利害关系) are, and adapt their behaviour accordingly.
Catherine Insel, at Harvard University, and her team asked adolescents between the ages of 13 and 20 to play a game while monitoring their brains. In some rounds of the game,participants could earn 20 cents for a correct response, while an incorrect one would cost them 10 cents. But in rounds with higher stakes,correct responses were worth a dollar, and wrong answers lost the participants 50 cents.
The team found that while the older volunteers performed better in the high stakes rounds, the younger ones didn’t — their performance didn’t change in line with whether the stakes were low or high. And the older the volunteers were, the more improved their performance was.
When the team looked at the brain activity of the volunteers,they found that their ability to improve their performance was linked to how developed their brains were. A region in the brain, which continues to develop until we are at least 25 years old, seemed to be particularly important. The findings explain why some teenagers are so unconcerned when it comes to hazardous behaviors, such as driving too fast, for instance, especially when one of their friends is nearby.
Insel thinks schools should reconsider the way they test performance in teenagers. “This study suggests it’s not a good idea to evaluate school performance in a single final exam”, she says. A better idea would be to use a variety of smaller tests, conducted throughout the year.
It’s not all bad news for teens, though. Teenagers put the same amount of effort into tasks that aren’t “important”, and start to prefer hobbies to school. It could be a good thing, allowing teenagers to learn complex social skills, for example.
32．Why did the researchers set different bets in the game?
A．To teach how to make money. B．To better monitor participants’ brains.
C．To show the varied risk levels of the game. D．To meet the needs of different participants.
33．What does the underlined word “hazardous” probably mean?
A．Dangerous. B．Abusive. C．Specific. D．Addictive.
34．What should be kept in mind while assessing students’ performance?
A．It should not be judged by only one exam.
B．The items in exams should not be too difficult.
C．Exam-focused education should not be adopted.
D．Examination is not a good means of evaluating students.
35．What is Insel’s attitude to teenagers’ putting effort into “unimportant” tasks?
A．Unclear. B．Favorable. C．Doubtful. D．Negative.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The 24-year-old female commander(指挥员) Zhou Chengyu has been a heated topic on Weibo since the Chinese state media highlighted her as one of the women involved in the successful launch of the Chang’e 5 lunar probe (月球探测器) on 24 November. Social media users have been referring to her as a “source of pride” for the country. __36_ Several people jokingly reflected on their own achievements, commenting how far behind in life they were in comparison.
Starting in 2004, the Chang’e Programme consists of three stages: “orbiting”, “landing” and “returning”. _37_ In December, 2013, the goal of China’s first soft landing on the lunar surface and ground exploration on the Moon was achieved by the lander of Chang’e 3 and Yutu lunar rover. Last year, Chang’e 4 probe made the first-ever soft landing on the far side of the moon.
The Chang’e 5 mission is China’s third successful moon landing in seven years. __38__ If it were successful, China would be the third country to bring lunar samples back to Earth after the United States and the Soviet Union.
Most Chinese people know the mythological story of Chang’e, the Chinese goddess of the moon. People can’t hear the word “Chang’e” without picturing romantic images of a moon goddess. _39_ And so pictures of Zhou Chengyu have been all over the state media, with comments about how she is a “front-line soldier in the field of aerospace” and a “big sister” that the young Chinese can look up to.
However, the huge amount of interest in the native of Guizhou Province has not appeared to have had much of an effect on her. __40__
A．Her story in particular has inspired the public, considering her young age.
B．She refused repeated requests for interviews in order to focus on her work.
C．However, China has been trying to highlight strong female figures in the country.
D．Despite her young age, Zhou is now working at the Wenchang Satellite Launch Center.
E．Its aim is to gather lunar rocks and soil to help scientists learn more about the moon.
F．For this reason, China’s mission to the moon has been calling for a strong female figure.
G．China completed the “orbiting” stage by launching Chang’e 1 and Chang’e 2 lunar probes in 2007 and 2010.

I wanted to be a journalist. But my parents 41 that math makes money, so off to engineering school I went. In my post-university young-adult life, I’ve managed to become __42__ successful. As a female _43_ , I worked for a big oil company and owned a home. My life was _44_ in front of me, and I didn’t like what I saw.
So, I did what any respectable 24-year-old would do and left my _45_ behind. I said goodbye to my job and _46_ my suitcase. I _47_ myself solo into the world with the grace and beauty of a baby deer taking its first steps with skateboards under its feet.
I _48_ my knees mountain biking through the red rocks of Utah. I partied at a spring bath party in Budapest. I spent four days _49_ through Yellowstone with 50 pounds on my back. I took a _50_ along the Danube river with someone from the hostel. They were just small everyday _51_ that happened to happen abroad, leading me to realize that the true value of my flight tickets were not the _52_ but rather becoming a(n) _53_ participant in my own life.
I now spend less time online shopping and more time _54_ alone on the floor listening to an album cover-to-cover. I ask my friends how they’re doing; sometimes, I _55_ them with flowers to see them smile. I tell everyone to have a good day.
Maybe I’ll continue to be _56_ for the next five years and touch down in dozens more countries. Maybe I’ll stay grounded in my home city, but the idea no longer _57_ me. _58_ with new wisdom earned in a year of travel, I know with complete _59_ that there’s adventure hiding in any aspect of my life — as long as I’m _60_ enough to look for it.

书面表达：
Version 1:
In junior middle school，I worked very hard, so I was admitted into a famous senior middle school last year. After entering the senior middle school, I made a few friends ,who like playing computer games. So I often talked with them about it. At weekend, I stayed at home playing computer games instead of studying my subjects. Little by little, I became addicted to it. In class, I often thought of the computer games, and couldn't devote all my mind to learning. At last I couldn't catch up with others. So I felt very sad and guilty.
Finally, with the help of my headteacher, I gave up playing computer games and put all my heart to learning. Now I have made greater progress.
Version2:
I quite agree with this famous saying. In my opinion,when we make mistakes, we need to stand up and admit them. Encountering injustice or seeing others being difficult, we should also have the courage to express our views and defend others. These are all manifestations of our courage. If we meet setbacks in life or we are at the low point of life, we should not feel hopeless and mad or abandon ourselves. Instead, it is important that we ought to calm down and think of solutions or listen to others' suggestions with an open mind.

M: This morning we’re talking to Carla Smith, who’s made some changes to her lifestyle. Carla, the first thing you did was change the way you worked. Why?
W: I used to have a busy job. It was interesting, so I never got stressed or needed time off like some of my colleagues, who became ill. I traveled all over the world. Then, suddenly I realized I was living in hotels and I thought “You know what? I’d like to spend more time in my own house!”
M: And now you run your own business.
W: Yes, and I choose which hours I work. I can stop when I want to. And I still don’t go on holidays often — but that’s my choice instead of my company’s. Some people who leave big companies miss the big salaries, but that doesn’t bother me.
M: Do you do more exercise now?
W: I spend about the same amount of time exercising as I did before. However, instead of doing
it between work and dinner, I get up at 5 a.m. and exercise then. I’m into yoga, because it relaxes my body and mind. I’ve never really enjoyed team sports or athletics.
M: You’re still a busy person. Do you have any time-saving advice?
W: Many people think checking emails or messages on the bus to work or school and making a list of things to do can save time. But the thing that works well for me is having lots of clothes which are similar, so you don’t have to think about what to put on in the morning!

M: In a forest in Minnesota, a fire starts and quickly spreads. At the Minnesota Fire Center, Mary Locke takes the call and then the other fire rangers go into action. The helicopter crew sends information about the fire back to the Fire Center. And then it’s the turn of the crew of the CL2-15 to take off. The CL2-15 is no ordinary plane. It is a fire-fighting plane. The pilots have to be very experienced. They are going to pick up water from this lake. It can be a dangerous job. The CL2-15 is flying at 140 kilometers per hour now. The pilot must be very careful. If he makes a mistake, the plane will crash. It’s time to open the water tanks on the plane. The plane picks up water from the lake. This is the most dangerous time for the crew. But the pilot does his job and picks up more than 5,000 liters of water. Then it’s time to put out the fire. The pilot has to fly low over the trees to hit the fire. He also needs to wet the ground in front of the fire so it can’t spread. The water drops on the fire. It’s a good hit! But the fire is a big one — the fire rangers have to go back to the lake. In just two minutes, the plane is ready again. The crew has to drop water 20 times to put out the fire. At last, it’s time for the fire rangers to go home ... until the next time.

21. A 细节理解题。根据Personalized Day Tour in the Netherlands部分第一句“Gain close insight (洞察力) into the Netherlands’ artistic works on this private walk tour from Amsterdam, led by a professional art historian.”可知，在一位专业的艺术史学家的引导下，人们可以在这趟从阿姆斯特丹出发的私人步行之旅中深入了解荷兰的艺术品。由此可知，最适合艺术生的旅行路线是Personalized Day Tour in the Netherlands。故选A。
22. B 推理判断题。通读全文可知，四条旅游路线所采用的交通方式分别是步行、骑行、乘船和乘坐公交车。由此可知，四条旅游路线的主要不同点在于交通方式。故选B。
23. D 文章出处题。通读全文可知，文章介绍了荷兰首都阿姆斯特丹及其周边的几条旅游路线。由此可推知，文章最有可能出自一个旅游网站。故选D。
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章指出玩耍对健康至关重要，父母应该多和自己的孩子玩耍。
24．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“There was a mental block so huge that it felt like I was being asked by Elon Musk to make a presentation about artificial intelligence. So, nine times out of ten, I made an excuse.(有一个巨大的精神障碍，让我感觉像是被Elon Musk邀请做一个关于人工智能的演讲。所以，十有八九，我找了个借口)”可知，当作者的女儿要求玩游戏时，她选择了避免参与。故选C。
B篇
25．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“ I have many happy memories of my youth, but absolutely none involves playing dolls or building blocks with my parents. I don’t blame them because they were never played with as children either. When I ask them what their own childhoods were like, my dad tells me a story about being locked in a cupboard, while my mum recalls the box of buttons she was told to amuse herself with.(我的童年有很多快乐的回忆，但绝对没有一个是和父母一起玩洋娃娃或搭积木的。我不怪他们，因为他们小时候也没被玩过。当我问他们自己的童年是什么样子时，我爸爸给我讲了一个被锁在橱柜里的故事，而我妈妈则回忆起别人告诉她用来娱乐的一盒纽扣)可知，作者在第二段中解释时重点关注的是童年经历。故选D。
26．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The poet Michael Rosen, in his Book of Play, argues play is not an extra and all of us, whatever age, could do with more silliness in our lives. (诗人Michael Rosen在他的《玩耍之书》(Book of Play)中指出，玩耍并不是多余的，我们所有人，无论年龄多大，都可以在生活中多做些蠢事)”可推知，Rosen可能同意游戏不仅仅是为儿童设计的。故选B。
27．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“There are studies showing how important play is for a child’s growth, and no end of people campaigning for our young to get more of it at school.(有研究表明玩耍对孩子的成长是多么重要，人们不断地呼吁我们的孩子在学校里得到更多的玩耍)”及最后一段中的“Play is vital to health. And it is why I’ve started playing school games with my daughter.(玩耍对健康至关重要。这就是为什么我开始和我女儿一起玩学校里的游戏)”可推知，作者想在文中表达的意思是父母应该多和孩子玩，这是为了他们的孩子。故选C。
C篇
本文是一篇说明文。斗拱结构在中国古建筑中很常见，它兼顾了美感和牢固性，影响着现代社会的建筑设计。
28. D 推理判断题。根据第一段的“In this age of concrete and steel, however, they’re more likely to look for aesthetic (美学的) influence than technical know-how.”可知，在如今这个混凝土和钢铁（建筑）的时代，建筑师们更可能寻求美学影响而不是技术诀窍。再结合下文对斗拱结构的描述可知，斗拱结构既能提供美感，又具有技术上的牢固性，所以被认为是一个例外。故选D。
29. C 细节理解题。根据第二段的“Many structures ... spread the burden across their structures. Their solution was dougong.”可知，唐宋时期建造的许多建筑物都以不能承重的“幕墙”为特色，这可能会导致担负重物且无支撑的木材断裂。因此，设计师们采用了斗拱技术来更均匀地分散负重。故选C。
30. A 推理判断题。第三段提到自这一中国古代建筑技术流行以来，建筑工程已经取得了很大的进步，但斗拱结构却有着永恒的特质。如今许多地方的现代设计师都在采用它来创作建筑作品，日本建筑师Kengo Kuma就是其中之一。由此可知，作者提及Kengo Kuma的作品是为了说明斗拱结构持久的吸引力。故选A。
31. D 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Dougong Cube ... was constructed using classical-style brackets and over 2,000 boards.”“It has fundamental structures of dougong, but we just aren’t using it in the way it was intended to be used. We’re really pulling it out”可知，Dougong Cube采用了斗拱结构，但是与传统的斗拱结构又有所不同，它的斗拱结构是外露的，由此可推知，它既使用了传统技术，又有创新之处。故选D。
D篇
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章以一项实验研究的结果说明了青少年大脑判断事情重要程度的能力随着年龄增大而增加，这解释了为什么马上要考试了，有些青少年却仍不努力学习。作者认为应该用多次考试来更加准确地评价青少年的学业表现。
32．表现更好，但年龄较小的志愿者没有——他们的表现并没有随着风险的高低而改变)”可知，研究的结果发现“年纪稍大的参与者在利害关系更高的回合中表现得更好”。由此可推知，研究人员设置不同赌注的目的是为了使游戏的冒险程度不同。故选C。
33．词句猜测题。根据划线词后面的举例“such as driving too fast(比如开得太快)”可知，一些青少年对危险行为如此漠不关心。由此可知，划线单词的意思为“危险的”。故选A。
34．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第二句话““This study suggests it’s not a good idea to evaluate school performance in a single final exam”, she says. (“这项研究表明，在一次期末考试中评估学校成绩不是一个好主意”，她说)”可知，不能只通过一次考试来判断学校的成绩。故选A。
35．观点态度题。根据最后一段“It’s not all bad news for teens, though. Teenagers put the same amount of effort into tasks that aren’t “important”, and start to prefer hobbies to school. It could be a good thing, allowing teenagers to learn complex social skills, for example.(不过，这对青少年来说并不都是坏消息。青少年将同样的精力投入到不“重要”的任务中，并开始喜欢业余爱好而不是上学。这可能是一件好事，比如让青少年学习复杂的社交技能)”可知，作者认为青少年花时间做一些不重要的事情可能也是一件好事，让他们可以学到复杂的社交技巧。由此推知，作者的态度是“赞同的”。故选B。
